Legendary basketball manager

If the historical trajectory of the original time and space is followed, Curry will become the absolute core of the future Warriors dynasty.

But the development of things is often very complicated.

It is rare for a player to grow into a superstar.

As far as Shen Fei knows, in the first few years of Curry's career, the Warriors' top management thought about trading him more than once.

There are two main reasons.

First, before the prevalence of the small ball era, it was generally believed in the league that whoever controls the inside can be the final winner.

And if the outside players want to compete with the inside, they must have unparalleled offensive ability with the ball like Jordan, Kobe, and Tracy McGrady.

In such an environment, shooters are often considered to be the icing on the cake, and cannot be cultivated as the core of the team.

As for Curry, he is a thin and thin shooter (if he gains weight later, it has nothing to do with being thin).

Therefore, even though he scored a high score of 17.6 points in his debut season, he often had high-scoring performances in the follow-up, but the Warriors have always had voices questioning him.

The second is Curry's fragile ankle.

Since his rookie season, he has often been affected by ankle sprains and has been unable to play full time.

Last season, Curry even sprained his ankle during a defensive possession while chasing laterally.

Yes, no fight against a sprained ankle!

Frequent sprains have also caused problems with his ankle ligaments.

In this regard, the diagnosis of the Warriors team doctor is that in the future, Curry is very likely to have a habitual sprain.

An ankle sprain is definitely not a serious injury, but once it happens, it will greatly affect the player's performance.

Just imagine, when the team reached the playoffs and ushered in a critical moment in the series...

In this high-intensity game, players have to make countless stops and starts every game.

And every time Curry does these moves, there is a risk of injury!

If a role player has such a potential injury, the team may be able to accept it.

But Curry was trained as the core of the team!

Just imagine, when the game enters a critical moment, but the core of the team sprains an ankle in a non-confrontational round, how much will the morale of the team be affected?

Because of these two points, even though Larry Riley loves Curry a lot, he has not completely ruled out the possibility of trading him.

"If you're trading Steph and you just want a guard who can shoot threes and connect the team when necessary, that's definitely overkill."

Larry Riley said seriously.

These words seemed to be a refusal, but Shen Fei heard a hint of raising the price from this sentence.

Sitting on the ground and raising the price shows that both parties have the willingness to negotiate business...

There is a play!

"Stephen is a genius. I even think that one day, he may change the development of basketball."

Seeing that Shen Fei didn't respond, Riley continued.

"I agree with your statement. Although this is the first time I have watched Curry play live, I can also see his full aura."

"However, it's hard to say whether he can change the development of basketball. After all, things are impermanent. Whether he can grow 'thickly' is still unknown."

Shen Fei said lightly.

This is actually implying that Curry has potential injuries.

"Maybe, it depends on whether the basketball gods will favor him."

"Since you have ideas about Stephen, I'm a little curious, what chips are you willing to offer?"

"Obviously there are so many young talents in the Rockets, but you are still not satisfied, and you have an idea for our Warriors..."

Riley asked with a smile.

When Shen Fei heard this, he felt that something was going on!

"You got the point! Our team has many outstanding young people. Except for George and Griffin, others can be discussed."

The Asian youth replied.

"When you open your mouth, you exclude the two most talented young men in the team... How can we talk about this business?"

Riley shook his head and said.

"If I said that I don't want to trade these two because of the need to compete for the championship this season, not because of their talents, would you believe it?"

Shen Fei was about to start talking nonsense.

Riley shook his head, and was about to refute, but the young Asian didn't give him a chance, and continued:

"Both of them are very mature rookies. If Blake (Griffin) lets go, he can score 20 points in a game without any problem. George also has about 15 points now, and he is also a good perimeter defender. .”

"But when it comes to potential, those two aren't necessarily the best on the Rockets."

Shen Fei said solemnly.

"Oh? Who else is more talented than the two of them?"

Riley asked with great interest, as if to see how you make it up.

"In terms of draft picks, Griffin and George are indeed the highest on the team."

"But the draft position sometimes cannot reflect the true potential of a player. Manu Ginobili and Parker of the Spurs are all very late in the draft. Ben Wallace of the Pistons is even an undrafted pick."

"But if you put their honor together with the champion of the year, you will find that they are much stronger."

Shen Fei gave an example.

"But after so many years, how many Ginobili and Ben Wallace are there?"

Riley quickly pointed out the loopholes in Shen Fei's words.

It is too naive for an old Jianghu like him to generalize and use special cases to prove his statement.

"This kind of Maxima is indeed rare, but... I just met two!"

Shen Fei said with a smile.

"Oh? I'd like to hear about it."

Riley asked with interest.

"Ty Lawson and Jeremy Lin."

Shen Fei threw out two names.

"Two small guards? I want them, so I might as well keep Curry and continue to train them! At least the probability of winning the lottery is even greater."

Riley smiled and shook his head.

"It seems that you don't know much about these two young players of our team."

"Actually, they all have the strength to become the main point guard."

"The reason why I acted as Lowry's backup is because I need to be more suitable for the engineering guards of Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming."

"Lowry and Lawson were both absent due to injuries some time ago, and Jeremy (Jeremy Lin) immediately played a very bright performance."

While speaking, Shen Fei silently turned on [Bewitching Voice].

The next moment, his voice became deeper and deeper, like the whisper of a devil, but with an indescribable magical power.

Larry Riley suddenly felt a tingle in his temple.

He shook his head, regained his composure, and continued to think about what Shen Fei said just now.

Riley has indeed understood Jeremy Lin's performance in the previous few games.

But he believes that the excellent performance in just a few games does not prove that Shu Hao has the ability to match the gorgeous data.

Among them, there is not only the possibility of him feeling overwhelmed and "eating dumplings", but also the factor that the opponent did not target him.

But this Lawson... Riley thinks it's interesting!

During the time when he faced Curry in the first quarter, Riley saw everything in his eyes for his excellent breakthrough ability and finishing ability.

Moreover, although Lawson was not tall, he was very stocky.

Judging from the speed of the first step when breaking through, he also has both explosiveness and strength.

Coupled with a good sense of the ball, and extraordinary skills...

Riley believes that this small guard will play some tricks in the future!

However, the Warriors manager still believes that Curry is the better of the two and the one with more training value.

At least from the statistics, Curry is now completely crushing Lawson!

Riley was about to tell Fei Shen his thoughts, but at this moment, an accident happened on the court!
